On our recent trip to my folks', my mom gave Anthony a "Power Rangers" muscle suit. Wow, he loved it.

After a while of playing....

Earlier in the summer, near the start of my trip to Ohio, I posted some funky pictures of Anthony that were highly processed with some new features of Lightroom 2.

The shots were from a really nice playground in Ravenna, Ohio. It's been on my list to post a few more, so here they are.

Just after I took the photo above, a boy of about seven or eight years old walked up to me and said "This place is awesome!!!"
